Abstract
Implementations described and claimed herein provide apparatuses, systems, and methods for a quick maintenance of an electrical connector, such as a SAE J560 compliant connector. In one implementation, a connector includes a cable bundling wires extending into a housing having a body extending between a proximal end and a distal end. A distal terminal holder is disposed within an opening of the body at the proximal end. The distal terminal holder has a surface oriented in a direction away from the body. Terminals extend from the surface of the distal terminal holder, and each of the terminals is in electrical communication with one of the wires. Terminal assemblies each have a distal opening into which one of the terminals extends. A proximal terminal holder has terminal openings extending from a distal surface to a proximal surface, and each of the terminal assemblies extends through one of the terminal openings.
